MMFF 2017 Executive Committe Member and Spokesperson Noel Ferrer in an Instagram post revealed that this year's festival exceeded the record 1st day box office gross of MMFF 2015. (Note: Previous MMFF saw a decline in earnings due to the exclusion of mainstream movies in the line up of official entries.)

The 2017 MMFF will run until the first week of 2018 in major cinemas nationwide.

The Gabi ng Parangal or MMFF 2017 awards night is set on December 27 in Kia Theater in Cubao, Quezon City. It will feature the newly designed trophy by art designer Clifford Espinosa of Espinosa Arts and Design.
